Tommy Lee deserved the Oscar for his performance in 'No Country...' His acting was so quiet and soulful. It wasn't a flashy, quirky performance. The acting here simply demanded your full attention.

Jones has a sharp mind and tremendous grasp of his craft. Great talent.

"When I figured out that I could live anywhere I wanted to, 'in my wisdom' I decided to live at home." Now THAT is the definition of a totally grounded human being. Easy to admire; hard to live up to.

Tommy Lee Jones, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall just some of my faves. Classic gentlemen

This guy graduated from Harvard with honors Comes off as simple but he’s very smart

The suspense In that movie was unbelievable. You could literally taste the air, almost smell it , the tension ,, amazing. Just totally amazing

I dont know why I didnt expect Tommy to be this well spoken, but god damn is he well spoken. Takes a massive amount of intelligence to concisely answer the fairly tough questions he does

Tommy Lee Jones is so intelligent, it's contagious.

Charlie was a great interviewer long ago. But, he began to believe he knew more than he really did. So, he oddly began to interrupt his guests with out-of-touch comments which even made his guests frustrated. You can see it in TLJ’s face. Pure frustration.

An absolutely great performance. Can't imagine anyone else in this part. Tommy Lee Jones is one of our finest actors. Lonesome Dove and No Country are two of my all time favorites. Tommy Lee Jones is responsible for that. A very intelligent, thoughtful man.

Not being blindly patriotic is one of the most admirable attributes in a person

Tommy Lee Jones has a very dominant presence, he speaks so eloquently that people around him are captivated by his charm.

This is first time I've really listened to an interview with Tommy Lee Jones and man what a great man . He seems very humble and down to earth. Been in a lot of great movies and given the films taht extra umph it needed.

"Read the screenplay, understand it as well as you can, do your best to find out what the director wants to see and make it possible in every way you can for him to see it". What a powerful description of the mission of a screen actor. Thank you Mr. Jones, I for my part have seen you do it over and over again in many movies. I love the way you remain transparent or non-existent as an actor. I see your character in the story, and not Tommy Lee Jones when I watch you perform in a movie scene. I admire your talent and hard work only after the movie. Thank you really, for the wonderful time you have given me and my beloved company when watching your movies.

One of my favorite actors of all time. Smart and humble human being.

Nobody loads a question like Charlie Rose. He's the biggest "tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear" interviewer of all time. Putz.

Mr. Jones has earned his place as truly one of the very best film actors. There really haven’t been that many at his level of ability. Always a fascinating and incredibly believable performer.

Tommy Lee Jones. No casual wear for him. A class act.

The Roles Tommy Lee Jones plays , does him no Justice to who he really and truly is as a human being. A remarkable man . A pleasant unveiling.

He's in my personal list of the Top 10 Favorite/Best Actors of All Time. Not everybody can, or will, take the time to sit down and watch a TV mini-series.....I get that. But if you've never watched Lonesome Dove....You're missing out not only on one of the greatest cinematic experiences, but also missing Mr Jones' greatest characters/performances.

Imagine if Charlie Rose chose not to speak for one single minute

i have liked tommy lee jones since his soap beginnings BUT..... fell in love with him and gus during lonesome dove.... this is the first time i've ever seen him in a sit down.........i like how he speaks. he weighs what he wants to say, and makes sure what he wants to say, is what comes out of his mouth. not an open mouth, spew forth kinda guy......i like him even more AND......nor only is he a fine actor, he's a damn great one too.......

Tommy is known to not suffer fools and you can feel his agita rising thru the interview

Tommy Lee is a great actor, right there with De niro and Al Pacino. He deserves much more credits.

Tommy, he's one of the few who I still like after a interview. I quit watching interviews because once l seen how an actor really is, sometime, I can't watch their movies because I don't like them. But Tommy, Iam fine with. I've lived in Wyoming and I have been around many like Tommy Lee Jones types. Its very refreshing being around people like him. Very mater of fact.

He is simple sublime.., I can’t not believe every word or breathe he takes… Never seen him in a bad scene… he must be a real character in life as well😂👍

Again I am thankful that Rose is not on the air, not just for his behavior but that he was so pompous, so in love with his own voice and has such a puffed up ego that he never let his guest answer, never heard what they were saying. Compare that to Off Camera with Sam Jones where he let the guests talk.

Tommy Lee is such a great actor.

I was obsessed with this man ( in a good way), lol...back in the 1990's. I devoured all of his movies over and over again. Don't ask me how many times I watched "The Fugutive" remake with him and Harrison Ford. All these years later and I still remain in awe of him. A lot of that comes fromthe mystery surrounding him. He's always stayed out of the spotlight and off the of the covers of the tabloids somehow, and I love that about him. The mystery only makes him that much more intriguing to me.

His portrayal of Howard Hughes back in the day is still in a class of its own ... a truly great actor

I love TLJ most of all that he is a no nonsense, no bs, & he's just himself who just happens to possess an enormous talent & charm!! Great man, epic Texan!!!

Tommy is a master of acting. Christopher Waltz is a huge fan hahaha

I've known "Country of old men a long time," and I adore his work with old men forever. First I had crush in a thousand years!

Thank you, a wonderful, interview!

best line in Lonesome Dove,after he kicks the shit out of the Army scout,"I hate rude behavior in a Man.I won't tolerate it".

Well said Sir. It was a great movie, and an amazing performance on your part and everyone else. . I love the dialog

Great interview. Just how it should be done. Well done, bravo.

If you get such a great actor like Tommy Jones don't get an insufferable interviewer like Charlie Rose.

He is so clear about the things in his life that his answers are short and makes the interviewer look stupid.

I would venture to say Tommy Lee is the most no nonsense actor in Hollywood. His expressions at award shows are priceless. Most of which I agree with when it involves the weak to the point of embarrassing jokes written for presenters.

I love the country down around San Saba. Love that beautiful river. Tommy Lee and I share a hatred of leaf blowers.

First time I saw Tommy Lee Jones was in Coal Miner's Daughter I haven't seen all of his films but some was impressed with his intensity his demeanor and I'm not surprised that he's going into directing and screenwriting and I definitely am looking forward to seeing No Country for Old Men

I'd forgotten how much Charlie Rose irritates me. He pushes his own point and tries to score points with the person he's interviewing, rather than just exploring the subject or the person he's interviewing. I've always found that annoying as hell.

"In the Valley of Elah" Tommy is great, and much respect for playing a role he didn't like as much.

TOJ has at least in my simple bind a brilliant way of speaking which makes him so interesting. He is usage of iambic pentameter, his pauses, The way he presents himself with humbleness yet with a side dish of a kick your backside and you’ll know it but he doesn’t say it. It would be an honor to me if someday I could meet him in person but find him wonderful even from afar and enjoy what he does on screen to bring us entertainment at home. I have no idea what he’s like in real life but I have a feeling that he’s just as humble and not a bigot. Thank you for your entertainment on screen for all of us. God bless stay safe and healthy

Happy Birthday Tommy Lee Jones, and may the Peace Be With U. From Harlingen Texas. September 15, 1946 September 15, 2019 through September 15, 3019 1. Agent K - Men In Black 1, 2, 3 1997 - 2002 - 2012 2. Chip Hazard - Small Soldiers 1998 3. Mike Roark 1997

Loved every movie this man made! One of my favorites was his character in Blown Away with Jeff Bridges

"Islands in the Stream" has already been made into a movie, starring George C. Scott as "Thomas Hudson," the painter. The book contains some of Hemingway's best writing, in my opinion, especially about family and other human relationships. Edit: Released in 1977.

this channel has it… i gotta say id like to meet whoever uploads this incredible content

His appreciation for Mr. McCarthy is telling. Greatest American novelist.

No Country For Old men had a few stellar performances in my opinion.

This is one of those rare movie where everyone on the screen is hitting home runs. The woman in the office at the trailer park. The gas station owner. It must be a testament to the skills of the Coen brothers. Another film like this is Sling Blade

Tommy Lee Jones is very humble , he’s one of the greatest, gee I am so impressed how he really do not come across as arrogant, the way he talks about Clint Eastwood’s it’s a truly sign of his genius and ways to maintain his ego grounded, so much respect for him .

Great interview by Charlie! He gets the most out of powerful people. Glad he’s back

BEEN A BIG FAN OF TOMMY LEE JONES FOR A LONG TIME GREAT ACTOR IN ALL HIS MOVIES !!!!! AND CHARLIE ROSE A VERY GOOD INTERVIEWER !!!!!

As a fellow Texan the Sheriff character Mr Jones plays makes perfect sense to me All the elements of the movie are very real today that most people can directly relate to in one form or Another..

Brilliant actor, brilliant films. Learn from him..."yes sir."

Love his humbleness. A consummate actor!

I like how he says yesir at the start. He's so humble.

Was there 'ever' a worse interviewer than this guy? In love with his own voice, in love with his -interpretation- of whatever was being discussed, never-ever let a guest complete an answer....

I didn't think there could be a boring interview with Tommy Lee Jones, but Charlie Rose pulled it off. I should have known.

What I like about him is despite his talent he is just a guy who’s clocking in for work and doesn’t dwell on his personal accomplishments.

Oh Lord....that Texas drawl! 😍

Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall will always be my western cowboy movie Hero’s Lonesome Dove will in my mind will always be the greatest western ever made and they where the two that made it great

Jones is referring to his character in "The Valley of Elah" as a bigot not "No Country For Old Men"

Charlie is/was my favorite interviewer. He had the respect of his subjects and was always well researched.

Fascinating! It's always an incredible experience to get to hear the man behind the movie talk about himself! Charlie Rose keeps it interesting and engaging! What a time, the fact that the internet allows access to stuff like this reminds me of how I initially felt as a kid first getting access to the internet. The ability to be able to access broadcasts that otherwise would have been lost to time, essentially hidden away in some inaccessible corporate archive. KZfaq is the greatest god damn thing ever lol

What a legend 💯

I think there was a truly philosophically important statement Mr. Jones made about being inured to what we see on TV. That goes for the Internet as well. Really smart man.

It is so rude to ask a question during an interview and constantly interrupt the person you are interviewing.

Absolutely my favorite Actor!!

Since he did "The Park is Mine" until now, I have been very appreciative of his acting ability.

Charlie Rose gets in the way of an interesting guest in this interview.

At the outset, I like how Tommy Lee Jones doesn't allow Charlie Rose to force him into his usual interview stencil. I had never noticed that Charlie forces a particular commentary from his guests and here Tommy Lee Jones resists the pushing into a certain narrative , thereby breaking the mold. Charlie is nothing more than a more bookish Jerry Springer tabloid journalism. Tom maintains truth, Charlie is fluff. But, in the end, interesting to hear about Jones' film project.

Charlie Rose is so insufferable. He asks Tommy a question, and when Tommy answers, Rose says "Exactly." As if Charlie was the teacher giving a test and the audience needs Charlie to verify that Tommy's opinion is correct, because Charlie is the authority on everything. And when Tommy says he knows the author who wrote the book and has read all of his books, Charlie has to immediately say he knew that. Charlie can't subordinate himself to an interview subject, no matter who it is. I'm glad he got what was coming to him.

Al Gore was his room mate at Harvard.

A brilliant man, a great actor. I have learned so much and I haven't even finished the video yet. I will watch it again and my next book...NCFOM or Hemenway's last book?

One of my favorite movies!!!

Rose just can't handle someone knowing something and saying it (when answering a question) when he knows it as well. I have no idea what Jones said about the NCFOM question/meaning. Rose says "Exactly" right as Jones is answering.

Phenomenal guy.

What a great movie Tommy Lee Jones ...My Dad and I watched it so good!

At the end. He led him perfectly with his ramblings… I wish he would have asked at the Rene something to the effect of “and what is your reflection on the journey/ or what would you say looking back?”

He was great in Blown Away!

*Tommy Lee Jones is one amazing man...*

TLJ. Fantastic, actor, smart man, down to earth and I love him!

A Very Very under Written man of his craft ...and personal Hero of mine ...this Texan..

What an actor !

I watched this movie because of Tommy Lee Jones and I watched it several times because it was a good movie

Remembered him in Soap operas where he got his start" Played Howard Hughes In a TV movie,did a Terrific job in my book!

My cousin was Tommy Lee's veterinarian for over 30yrs, he has since retired.

You could see mr Jones’s irritation with the quality of the interviewers lines of questions. They were all obvious questions that was cringeworthy to watch. A good interview uncovers the real soul and inner thoughts of the person interviewed. The whole point of an interview is to get to know more of the person of interest. None of these questions stimulated any soulful revelation and to be fair mr Jones obviously doesn’t want to reveal anything personal. Although I think he would be a really great person to get to know he clearly values his privacy. I think that is very wise way to carry yourself especially if you’re a public person

I like him, he got no egos, and he's like nobody very original. I wish he stay away from fake heroes film. He's good enough to be Shakespearean. I got to notice him from the movie called the Park is mine. He was very powerful and it was able to show his talents

Your still one of my favorites, awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎 👌 👏 👍

Love this guy, full of principles

I have watched the 1977 production of "Islands in the Stream" with George C Scott, he was great in it. Surely Tommy Lee Jones must know of it.

When in the film does his character express "Blind Patriotism"? I've seen it a few times and read the book and I don't recall anything like that.

Amazing actor Tommy Lee Jones!🥰

Misleading title. The first third is about 'In the Valley of Elah', a largely overlooked film in which Jones also gives an outstanding performance.

"islands in the Stream" is a great story. I sure hope Mr. Jones gets the movie made. It was once done one with George C. Scott. It was a profoundly sad movie, but the dialogue was true enough. I read it years ago when I was in the Coast Guard. Time to revisit. Time to go.

Impressed-Tommy Lee Jones is a thinker!
